Shoulder Surfer
Protecting your password isn’t only important when using an ABM. It’s important any time you enter personal information while you are out in public. Always remember to shield your information from unwanted eyes.

Wifi Watcher
Avoid using public wifi services when you’re transmitting sensitive information. Use your wireless data connection instead when you are shopping or banking “on the go.”
Next ScenarioStop the
Pin Pincher
Card skimmers are most commonly found at ABMs. Fraudsters place a skimmer over the
real card entry slot and also install cameras to capture PIN numbers.
Always pay attention to the card entry slot and the area surrounding the ABM. If anything seems odd, it’s better to try another ABM location.
Next ScenarioStop the
Garbage Picker
Tear up or shred any pre-approved credit card offers you don’t respond to before tossing them into your garbage. Also shred documents that contain personal information (i.e., bank statements).
